Think enormous crystal chandeliers, high ceilings, artwork- the resort is imbued with so many stunning features that it makes it one of the best places to stay in the Miami enclave. The zig-zag configuration of the hotel immerses guests in the surrounding views of the oceanfront and landscaped gardens, and the clever design is only the start of why you should splurge on it. Guests can nab the oversized lounge chairs set up on the stretch of white sandy beach in front of the hotel overlooking the shimmering Atlantic surf crashing against the sand, or soak up the sun in the private cabanas bordering the pool. Every inch of the Deluxe Oceanfront Suite oozes luxury. There are far too many adjectives to describe this truly remarkable suite. The worst thing however is, leaving it at the end of your stay.
